ACSD provides a monthly payment to eligible parents/guardians to help with disability-related costs such as travel to doctors and hospitals, special equipment, drugs, dental and vision care, and respite. The amount is based on family size, income and the child's disability-related costs.
Child 17 or under, living at home, with a severe disability, and total household income of $76,920 or less (combined with family size and disability-related costs).
Contact your local MCCSS regional office to apply. A medical assessment of the child's disability and proof of household income are required.
